| Miss, It sounds like you need more protein. Try an egg flip or the recipe my dietitian gave me for protein during the liquid phase: Take a can of steak and veggies or one of those chunky soups and a can of baked beans and blend them until they are smooth. Thin them down with beef stock to a runny consistency and then warm it in the microwave 1/2 a cup at a time to "eat". You can do this with just the baked beans as well. Pyretta |

| Please help. It's day 5 post op and I'm starving. I have developed a headache and an aching stomach. I don't feel like it is from the surgery or wind pain as those have subsided. This is different I am having about 2 sustagans, 1 up and go, some chicken broth and a choc milk each day plus water. My stomach just growls. Is this normal? Missbeehaven |

| Tanya, Make an appointment with your GP if you are concerned but I'd start having some yakult or similar every day to try and help restore your body's balance. Pyretta |

| Hi Ladies I was banded on Friday, so today is day 5, I have had diarrhoea for the past couple of days. Anyone else experience this? Just worried if I lose everything I am eating (which isn't a lot) I will get run down fast. Tanya |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| No worries :) The optifast is a good idea if you can handle the taste because its complete in terms of dietary needs. But its definately not a must. Personally one more of those shakes and i think my guts would have resigned and started looking for another employer... Just dont forget your multivitamin and you'll be right :)) Enjoy!! |

| LOW FAT CHOCOLATE MILK. I LOVE you J.B Thamks, thanks, thanks Also up and go yum. Will get my hubby down to the shops today for some, I am so looking forward to that tonight I thought I could only have the opti and a bit of juice and soup, might try something other than chicken and strain it. Again BIG thanks. Mel |

| Hi Mel, I am having pretty much the same thing every day - may not be your thing but if it helps then cool :) Breakfast: Soluble Panadeine Supradyn Up & Go 250ml (many flavours available which is helpful) Morning Tea: Glass of Low Fat Chocolate Milk Lunch: Half can of soup - strained (i have bought about 8 different varieties) Afternoon Tea: More Panadiene - More Milk Dinner: Low fat custard & low fat ice cream. I have water buy my side constantly to sip on. Banana smoothies are a good idea to for between meals IF you feel you need something. Hope this is in someway useful. Sure beats Optifast! jB |

| Hi I was also done on Friday and still a bit of tummy pain, wind pain has gone, I also feel a little nausea when I drink anything, I am over liquid already, this is a worry how long can I last on this. Any ideas for something tasty (liquid that is) Opti and V8 juice and chicken broth is all I am having. Thanks Mel |

| J.Bone Make sure you are taking only small sips of the fluids and make sure they are thin at this stage. I was on clear fluids for 4 days. As for the wind pain. Gentile strolls will help move it along with peppermint tea or degas tablets you can get from the supermarket or chemist. Take your painkillers regularly every 4 hours, don't wait for the pain to hit. It should pass in the next few days but if you are concerned about the amount of pain you are in then please contact your surgeon or the hospital you were banded at. Pyretta |

| a bit of pain is ok but remember only fluids and slowly, just sips and go to the chemist and get some no-gas tabs to fix the wind pain, hope this helps. stick with it Jim |

| Hi guys, I need help!!! I have been reading this thread and most people seem to be describing their pain being mostly ok by about day 2-3. I was banded on Thursday (so today is day 3 and i am still in quite full on abdominal pain and wind pain. I cant seem to shake it even with pain killers... Is something wrong? It especially hurts whenever i drink or consume anything at all.... Can someone please assure me this is normal? Freakin out a bit here :((( Thanx :) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| congrats olliedollie :) thats wicked | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I Did it! Had my op on friday, so on day 3. got a bit of pain in left shoulder. Using heat pack for that.Finding no problem with getting fluids down. Stood on scales today. Was 97k pre optipast and 95 pre-op. Today im 92.9k. How did everyone else go with the weight loss in terms of time. i Know its only day three, im just curious as to what to expect. On average anyway. Thanks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi guys, I'm day 6 and so far so good, over the initial pains etc I think and not yet sick of the liquids only (we'll see how long that lasts) and have lost 6kgs, feeling pretty revved up! Hope everyone else is having a good weekend :) Nicky |

| Angel, the rule of thumb is 2 weeks liquid 2 weeks mushie but it depends on what YOUR surgical team requires. If you are unsure, ring them. Pyretta |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ok when does the mushy stage stop? should I say this but I was banded on the 11th of may and I feel fantastic! I can eat anything I want or so it seems. Should I be worried? |

| Actually Wjana if you follow this link and then bookmark it you will always be able to find the June thread easily. You may need to look carefully for any gaps Mr Yahoo puts in and delete them for it to work http://au.messages.yahoo.com/lifestyle/lap-band/25 0445/ |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Wjana, just look for it on the list and post a message like this one. It is being posted on fairly regularily so should be not too hard to find. If you tell me when you were banded I can add your name to the list of June bandits for you. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hay, I was banded on Thursday. I am on day two so am having 75mls every half an hour, After i take some water i feel a bit of nausea. Although i don't feel like i need to vomit is this normal. Thanks Jana |

| Congratulations Wjana! Why dont you pop your name on the June 2009 thread and we can support each other in our efforts. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi All, I was banded yesturday. The pain was worse than what i expected, however it has stopped hurting so much and now only hurts when i take a deep breathe. I am not even 24hrs post op so it will get better. Yeah i did it |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Jim, Im a June bandit too and bought a pill cutter for a couple of dollars at the chemist. It cuts your medication very neatly into two or four and then they go down easily without having to be totally crushed (at least they have for me and its worth a try) I used to swallow seven tablets in one gulp but have been taking the halves one at a time and making sure I drink a full glass of water to crush them. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| It is now day 2 after my surgery and have very little pain. drinking fluids ok but my tablets taste horrible has anybody got any suggestions how to improve the taste of crushed meds. I had Dr John Copp in Brisbane and I have found him to be fantastic real down to earth and an ideal Dr for a mans man, no beating around the bush and tells it like it really is. Jim |
